Latest Prayer Requests and Meeting Schedule

Updated MEETING SCHEDULE:

-- Thursday, July 15th. 1900 hours, Calvary South Denver (go to http://www.calvarycsd.org/Location/ for directions) in the Multi-Purpose room -- straight ahead after entering the main doors.

-- Thursday, July 22nd. Same time/place as above.

-- Thursday, July 29th. NO MEETING as Joel Rosenberg will be speaking at Calvary South Denver. Details can be found at http://www.calvarycsd.org/ or http://www.ministryarchitecture.com/. A number of us will be providing security to Joel, his family, and the congregation. If you are local or visiting, this would be great event for you to attend and the $25 cost is actually a tax deductible donation to Joel's parents' ministry -- Ministry Architecture, Inc. Regardless, this is a good time to remind everyone to carry off-duty -- especially at church!


Updated (071410) PRAYER REQUESTS (please see the previous posts for additional):

-- Please pray for a fellow agent's teen daughter who is experiencing some severe psycological issues (depression and more). Pray for our brother and his bride as well as this has been a very difficult issue in more ways that one.

-- "David," a strong believer/officer in Canada, covets prayers for his son "Daniel" who is undergoing another "nightmare" scenario stemming from a line-of-duty incident. "David" writes, We meet tomorrow with "Dan's" lawyer and need prayer for (1) that or God's "legal Angels" to be loosed in Heaven and on Earth; (2) for wisdom; (3) for eloquence and a clear head; (4) for a winning strategy to defeat Satan pre trial; (5) for Judicial favour - in court next week over "pre trial motions". We are 37 months-post event and I just wrote today an 8 page list of unsatisfied disclosure issues. It is simply unbelievable what they have failed to do. We are following an unusual defence policy of "no document, record or video can hurt us" it is the prosecution who is holding back crucial info. This is a reversal of normal court practice. This situation is so extreme it should be dealt with now, not at trial in September. Thank you for praying for us.

-- Let's continue to keep the men and women of the Grand Junction PD in prayer as that agency is dealing with a host of issues. Some of those prayers need to be for Chief Camper and the GJPD leadership -- that they would in fact be the true servant-leaders God has called them to be.

-- Agent Dexter Wells has asked us to pray for ATF Special Agent Will Clark. See http://www.fleoa.org/ for details.

-- A fellow investigator's father is having some medical tests *(7/11) -- possible cancer. Please keep him in prayer. PRAISE REPORT/update 07/12!! Rich reported that his dad's tests came back negative/cancer-free!! Praise God/Thank You Lord (and thanks to all who prayed)!

-- Pray for a sergeant who is in great pain and facing surgery to correct a duty-related leg injury (healing, pain management, etc.). This is possibly career-ending.

-- Pray for a state law enforcement administrator who is under high stress and working extremely long hours (legislation, lawsuits, brand new enforcement division, etc.) building a first-of-its-kind drug regulatory and enforcement protocol to better serve and protect the citizens.

-- A chief and his family are going through the sudden loss of a child (chief's grandchild). This has been particularly hard on our brother's wife and daughter. Please lift them in prayer.

-- "Officer Down" news: this week marks the 1st anniversary of Deputy Joe Harris's murder. A picture of Joe is posted here on this website (scroll down) at our memorial in DC. We need to keep the Harris family in prayer as this is a very difficult time.

-- Let’s keep a colleague and his wife in prayer as they fight for the welfare of their teen daughter along with the job-related issues that go along with it. They have a meeting with CPS tomorrow.

-- Pray for an officer who is dealing with administrators who continually fail to back their officers (including the party about whom I'm posting) and look for opportunities to brow-beat them -- thus fostering the proverbial "I better not do anything or I'll be in trouble again" syndrome that is anathema in our profession. Another sad example of poor leadership.

-- We continue to visit with Brownstown (MI) PD Officer Max Faistenhammer who is currently paralyzed and undergoing rehab here at Craig Hospital. Pray that our brother comes to Christ and that our Lord would grant Max healing in accordance with His perfect will. A benefit is being held for Max this Saturday in Michigan -- see special post for details (7/12/10 above).

-- Please continue to pray for Mahnomen County (MN) Dep. Chris Dewey and his wife Emily. Both are having a rough time with Chris's ongoing medical issues stemming from being shot in the line of duty last year. Chris is having a benefit as well -- see special post above ( 7/12/10) for details.

-- I will be marrying another couple on July 31st. Keep me in prayer as I share God’s truth/message with them and ultimately, with those attending.

-- Don't forget to check the previous prayer request posts as those folks are still very much in need of prayer.
